2019-06-19 Wednesday day 3 session C

[Sharon Evans]

Currently, as of 1500 local EDT 6/20/19, there are no images posted for me to work on.

[William Hoss]

Shame, that seems to have been the trend over the last few sessions. I really look forward to seeing what's going on in Chama, Antonito and Lava Pump House.

Chris James tells me there was a major internet outage with one of the ISP's in Northern New Mexico which might have something to do with it. The other problem is that the internet is not working in the building that the Friends use to upload photos of work being done. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

[Sharon Evans]

Problems fixed and I have both Wednesday and Thursday in hand and will process them before the day is over.

[William Hoss]

Thanks for the update Sharon. Looking forward to seeing them.

Steve says that they almost have all of the roof boards up, but they had to quit early Friday so the crew could attend the members dinner and train ride to Cumbres Pass.
